I used this cord on my iPhone 6 Plus for about a year then just a few weeks ago it stopped working. It now say device not compatible and prevents me from connecting my phone to my car stereo. WTH? For no apparent reason Apple just decided these wouldn't be compatible.

TO SHORT

I love it, works great no problems at all. Why did you make it so short?!?! APPLE give a choice to buy a bigger one. Way to expensive for 20cm of cable.

Premature failure

I bought this cable to use with an old Belkin FM transmitter in my van. The 30-pin end of the transmitter and this cable sit on my van's console and are gently handled about twice a day. The combination worked great for 113 days. While driving and listening to a podcast the transmitter just shut off. The iPhone was still being charged but it wasn't talking to the transmitter. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting steps of replugging the 12V, replugging and even reversing the iPhone end, replugging the 30-pin end, restarting the iPhone. Nothing worked.
Removed my iPhone case and used a lightning to 30-pin dongle (no cable) and it worked fine, so it wasn't a problem with the transmitter. This cable had failed just sitting on my van's console.
Tried using it in a Sony clock radio designed for 30-pin iPhones and it worked. So somehow, something in this cable decided it wasn't going to talk to the Belkin transmitter anymore.
Fortunately, it's still under the 1-year warranty so I'm going to get it exchanged at the Apple Store. It's a $50 cable. It should last more than 3.5 months of gentle use.

This works great then after a year maybe slightly longer, the plastic on the top part started to crumble. If it had shorted out my phone I would’ve been very angry. An apple product breaking another apple product, not so good Apple.

I bought one of these cables years ago because I needed an adapter for my car. I had a direct line-in installed in my car so I could play my iPhone through my car stereo. (No auxiliary jack back then in the 2004 Prius.) Back then the iPhone used a 30-pin instead of lightning, and I could charge and play music at the same time. When I got a new phone, I needed a lightning to 30-pin adapter. I bought this exact one, and I have had it probably for about 4-5 years. It still works, but the cord is frayed. It has never charged my phone, but it plays music through my stereo. I bought cheap adapters online, but they would not play audio and they were extremely flimsy. I ordered this one, and it is exactly the same as the one I've been using for years. It plays the music but doesn't charge, which is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars. This one has a much sturdier cord than the others I have tried to use.
